Roadrunner Copper Panel

Roadrunner Copper Panel — Hand-Hammered Southwest & Wildlife Wall Art

The roadrunner's mid-sprint form — crest raised, long tail held horizontal, one foot off the ground in full stride — hand-hammered stroke by stroke into real copper sheet using traditional chasing and repoussé techniques our family has practiced for generations. The feather texture, the energy of the running pose, the dynamic tension of the form: every detail a separate hammer stroke, thousands of them, each one placing the relief exactly where it belongs. Made to your exact measurements, in any of 15 finishes. Over 10,000 pieces made.

Two things made the roadrunner famous: the real desert bird — the New Mexico state bird, the Native American symbol of protection, the rattlesnake hunter that thrives where most birds wouldn't last a day — and the cartoon that made it the most recognized bird in American pop culture. Both are good reasons to put it on the wall. In copper, it's the real one.
